What is the ruling regarding a woman who made the intention to enter into a state of ihram for Umrah on the fortieth day after giving birth, believing that her postpartum bleeding (nifas) had stopped, then discovered that it was still flowing after arriving in Makkah, and did not perform Umrah, then returned to her hometown, knowing that the blood that was flowing was nifas and completely stopped after approximately 55 days, and that she performed another Umrah ten months later with a new ihram?
The blood that returns to you after forty days is considered nifas (postnatal bleeding), based on the Shaafa'i school's view that the maximum period for nifas is sixty days. Since you stipulated a condition when entering into the state of ihram for umrah, there is nothing upon you for exiting it in this situation.
